Death
One of the letters testamentary attached to Mary Lynch's estate states that she died on 2 December 1872. However, this must have been an error. All of the letters testamentary (which refer to Mary as deceased), are dated in March and April of 1872. Her last will and testament is dated 9 November 1871. The year of 1872 was clearly in error; she apparently did on 2 December 1871.Endnotes
